Introduction
This document was developed in response to microfluidics community demand for minimum
specifications for interoperability of microfluidics components, since most of the microfluidics products
are produced internally with custom dimensions and characteristics.Microfluidics based diagnostics have been shown over the years to be viable alternatives to conventional
macroscale analysis systems, and in some applications provide analytical capabilities which are not
possible using macroscale systems. Hence, exploitation of microfluidics will play an important role for
next generation of medical devices. However, there are many (potential) applications for microfluidics,
and also many technologies and materials being used. This diversity is a problem when it comes to
combining microfluidic components. Researchers do not want to spend much time on side issues like
correct connection of tooling; they also want to use chips from different suppliers without needing to
change their whole experimental setup; and they want their developed products to go as smoothly as
possible into production. Providers of analytical services do not want their limited laboratory space
cluttered with a multitude of incompatible instruments. Chemical engineers want easy interconnection
between pumps, sensors and reactors, and finally, operational managers want a second source for
their products. In short interoperability and therefore standardizing the interfaces between them is
important.Another essential requirement for interoperability is standardization of testing. Testing may be partly
very application specific, but there are also tests that are to be used cross application, cross technol

very application specific, but there are also tests that are to be used cross application, cross technology
and cross material; for instance leakage test, burst pressure tests and flow throughput tests. The test
protocol is developed considering the material of the chips, the temperature and pressure range of
operation. From studies of the products on the market, a number of application classes with specific
temperature and pressure ranges have been defined, that will provide the boundary conditions for the
tests to be developed. Ultimately, these tests will lead to quicker access to the market.
